This doctoral study will critically investigate Palestinian social and political life in the context of Israel's settler-colonial spatial practices in occupied East Jerusalem. There, Palestinians face various techniques of control and removal - e.g., house demolitions, threatened residency removal, real estate speculation - that are implemented by a range of actors: the state of Israel, private citizens and settler NGOs. In the neighbourhoods of Sheikh Jarrah and Silwan - both of which have been in the international headlines in the past year, and the areas on which this research is focused - thousands of Palestinians live everyday threatened with the loss of their homes. This is a site on the frontline of contemporary colonialism in need of critical geographical examination in terms of making and unmaking colonial space. I will undertake this task via archival research, participant observation and semi-structured interviews with the specific aim to understand life in East Jerusalem and the ways that colonialism impresses on daily routines and the forms of activism, negotiation and resistance that emerge. This will be the first study of its kind to work on a site of ongoing displacement from this perspective and thus has the potential to make a significant contribution to the field of political geography on the crucial theme of the function of power in the colonial present.

这项博士研究将在以色列在被占领的东耶路撒冷的定居者殖民空间实践的背景下批判性地调查巴勒斯坦的社会和政治生活。在那里，巴勒斯坦人面临各种控制和驱逐手段，例如拆除房屋、威胁拆除居住权、房地产投机等，这些手段是由一系列行为者实施的：以色列国、普通公民和定居者非政府组织。在 Sheikh Jarrah 和 Silwan 社区（这两个社区在过去一年中一直成为国际头条新闻，也是本次研究重点关注的地区），成千上万的巴勒斯坦人每天都面临着失去家园的威胁。这是当代殖民主义前沿的一个地点，需要在殖民空间的形成和毁灭方面进行严格的地理审查。我将通过档案研究、参与观察和半结构化访谈来承担这项任务，具体目的是了解东耶路撒冷的生活、殖民主义对日常生活的影响以及出现的激进主义、谈判和抵抗的形式。这将是同类研究中首次从这个角度对持续流离失所的地点进行研究，因此有可能为政治地理学领域关于殖民当下权力功能这一关键主题做出重大贡献。
